MOPS Retreat TOP TEN!!!


MOPS.

It is not a cleaning device.


It is an acronym for Mothers of Preschoolers.


Which I guess is actually a cleaning device.


Hmmm.


- Deep Thoughts by Stacey Wilson






So I am attempting to recover from a raucous 24 hours + with most of the leadership team for the Salinas Valley Community Church's MOPS group. 15 amazing women were able to leave behind husbands, kids, responsibilities, and chores overnight! It totally ruled.

We sunbathed.

We laughed.



We swam.

We ate. A lot.



We talked.

We shared our histories.



We prayed for one another.

We ate some more.

We watched a certain mothers of a preschoolers try to get the rest of us to guess "prostitue", "proctologist", and "pasties" during a rousing game of charades. Don't worry, we had other words, too. Those were just the most outrageous.



We relay raced with t-shirts.

We plan on having an awesome year of MOPS in 2010-11!!





I know that is more than ten things, but it was a pretty awesome 24 hours.


Yet I still don't know what "the secret $#% challenge" was all about. But that table of women were laughing pretty hard!


Love ya like a sista,

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner



Just in case I was imagining things.

Which I am NOT.

Here are some photos of me & my 16 week/5 day pregnant belly.

These were all taken yesterday.

Seriously. One day.



AFTER BREAKFAST


AFTER LUNCH



AFTER DINNER



Now, on a normal day I grow from 4 months to 8 months in appearance. yesterday was an anomaly since I didn't eat any really big meals. But after that last picture I ate two slices of toasted, buttered monkey cinnamon bread. It was seriously good.

BUT, if I keep this up - those jeans are not going to fit for long.


Whew,

All this talk about food is making me hungry.



Ciao,
